There is no rocket motor on an SRB. It's a giant firework. The whole SRB was Morton-Thiokoi if I'm not mistaken
And when it lights up, the shuttle is flying. No ifs, and or buts (or holding bolts).

The rest of the SRB besides the rocket motor was Pratt and Whitney. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Solid_Rocket_Booster https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Solid_Rocket_Boo...
- raverbashing 4y agoThanks for the info So, a solid-rocket motor is not exactly a motor (like a liquid-fuel one) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-propellant_rocket https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-propellant_rocket but if that's the term used I'm happy with it, especially given there's a nozzle with directional control. I stand corrected on MT making the whole thing!
